The 'mining farms' of the cryptocurrency world are moving from noisy server rooms to the balconies of ordinary households. The Marco weather station hanging on the neighbor's balcony operates without electricity and noise, yet it continuously alerts the phone with notifications of token deposits. This new type of mining machine automatically collects weather data such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed, uploading it to the blockchain; the more frequently data is uploaded, the more $CA token rewards are earned.
The CAILA project, as a representative of DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network), deeply integrates AI, blockchain, and real-world data collection. Users only need to place their devices outdoors, and the data can be sent directly to the blockchain, allowing AI programs to make weather predictions and analyses. To incentivize data uploads, the project has designed a token reward mechanism and adopted a fair distribution model, with no VC pre-sales and a minimal reserve for the team, while also distributing devices for free to attract users to participate at zero cost.
In addition to device mining, users can also earn $CA tokens by completing on-chain tasks in collaboration with ecological platforms, injecting liquidity into liquidity pools, or even receiving test tokens by sending keywords in official community groups. This 'lying flat' mining model, which requires no graphics cards, has no competition for computing power, and incurs no hardware losses, may signify a revolution in the way mining is conducted in the Web3 era. But behind this seemingly wonderful 'lying down to earn' myth, are there hidden risks? Can this new mining revolution truly disrupt the traditional landscape?
